Minus the one time when our Autonomous mode actually reversed, ran into the robot behind us, and lodged them into the rear wall |

I'm sure FIRST did the math. They always do the math. Just not math humans use. It was probably given to them from NASA from the aliens so we'd quit predicting the divisions before they release it. |

math and physics save a lot of money!!! Pay attention in school - this is why your teachers are torturing you with this stuff. |

This year it is what it is and, at some point, we will all find out what that is, specifically. |

Competition isn't about the resources you don't have, it's making the most out of what you do have. |

Experience...you can't buy it, you might be able to get some for free by reading CD a lot, but usually you have to earn it, and it's not always fun. |

I frequently summarize the core mission of FIRST as inspiring the smartest high school kids to study science and engineering, so they don't become lawyers. (It's about 70% in jest) |

In the encyclopedia of FIRST under the term Encyclopedia it says - See Joe Ross. |

Every single team in FRC has had a rookie season. All those... have stories. Some are sad, some are funny, some are inspiring - but all the teams have stories to be told... Each year is a chapter in the team's history book with stories to be told and shared. |

FIRST encourages us to innovate and try new things, lets do the same for them. |

We should have a 'Steps Taken For FIRST' contest. Everyone wear a pedometer and keep a log of how many miles you walked at the St. Louis Championship. That could be a lot of fun. Do they make pedometers for robot carts? |

Anyways, before we all get worked up over this setup, let's wait and see what details emerge. It can't be as bad as everyone is making it seem. |

I've never been one for the "you did your best" and other "everyone's a winner" sayings, they don't push you, they don't get you to analyze what went wrong and figure out where to improve. |

There's a fine line between cockiness and confidence. Confidence is one of the major keys to success and happiness in life. As long as one can carefully stay on the right side of the line, staying connfident while remaining humble, and ego can be quite beneficial. |

One of the Minbot inspectors at LA asked me how much a switch had to weight before it stopped being a "light" switch and started being a "heavy" switch. |

We need to find the female engineering mentors in FIRST and start having them present/co-present technical conferences at the championships. We need to start showing the girls on the teams that there are female engineering "rock stars" to look up to. |

We were all rookies once, and we really have two ways to go about things: either take a page from the powerhouses and emulate their style, or complain about not having anything and risk falling into oblivion. |

To me, as a student, it doesn't really matter how old the RoboCoach is. My only concern is that they don't get ape-crazy when the game starts. |

So yeah I love the minibot because it was a great vehicle to promote our team, make new friends, and possibly make sure a team makes it past their 1st or 2nd year. |

You will forever be confronted with choosing between right and wrong, or choosing what you think you can get away with. Which way you go defines what kind of person you are. Choose wisely. |

From what I've seen in FIRST, teams that copy generally always learn something from it, and if they don't, the copy they produce is of much lower quality than the original. |
